Board Members | AIGA Austin

What is the AIGA Austin Board? We are here to initiate activities and work with colleagues locally to address issues of importance to our community. We always welcome feedback and participation.

Goals for our chapter

Bring value to AIGA members and the design community in Austin
Create opportunities for fellowship and networking within a community of designers
Provide access to information about design and professional practices, which may also involve networking with other professionals with similar problems
Find ways to improve understanding of the profession among the public and potential clients
Find ways to increase respect for the profession and its impact

Look below to put faces with names so you can more easily get in touch with a board member.

Interested in volunteering for a Board position? First, read the Board Role descriptions (PDF) and the Board Contract (PDF), then get involved! Elections take place in late spring. Contact the president to see if there are current openings on the board. Also, you are always welcome to volunteer.
